Last week, I was struck down with a very horrible, unrelenting bout of flu. I was bed-bound for the first three days, sleeping for upwards of 18 hours of the day, only waking up when the painkillers ceased working. I drank pints upon pints of squash, all the variations of tea and honey I could muster from our extensive tea... Read the rest of this post...

I recently went on my first ever date with a stranger. Not completely blind, mind you – but we had never met before. Some weeks ago, I realised that I hadn’t met anyone new since I moved to London in October – in a non-professional, non-living-in-the-same-house scope anyway. So, on a Saturday morning 2am whim, I joined a dating site.... Read the rest of this post...

Last Tuesday evening I underwent a major catastrophe. I had to get to an evening class in central London straight after work and I had no money on my Oyster card. THEN I realised I had left my purse at home. By this time, there was no-one in the nearby area from whom I could borrow any money without begging... Read the rest of this post...

Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday – more fondly known as pancake day – which in turn means that Lent starts on Wednesday. I think there’s something interesting about a society of people who, although the majority of whom would not call themselves Christian, let alone Catholic*, still see it necessary to consider giving something up for seven weeks of their lives....

This Valentines Day, I had planned an evening at home with the people that I love, but my evening soon went tits-up when we realised we couldn’t find the cat. We searched the house top to bottom, she wasn’t there. She had literally disappeared. We began searching the local streets for our little stray. Although we tried to keep calm...

Newly graduated, I’d been on the dole just a few days when I was invited to interview at a company I’d never heard of before… No job title was given, and I wasn’t sure what “outsource marketing” meant (a thorough googling didn’t enlighten me much further), but I went along, curious, hopeful, and determined it would be good interview “practice”....

Take a chance and with it risk minor humiliation. If you don’t, you could end up regretting it. So, I met this guy on the train home, two days before Christmas. Having fallen asleep against the window, I woke up as the conductor announced that the train would go no further than the next station. We weren’t even half way... Read the rest of this post...

A few days ago, I had a Bridget Jones moment. I know you know what I mean; we all have them. (Image via) Those times when all you want to do is sit in front of the telly wrapped up in your duvet, while you eat ice cream and drink far too much wine. Not exactly a healthy activity for...

How many times have you heard a friend mention how grossed out they are by the idea of sex on menses? Actually, how often does anyone even speak openly about ‘riding the crimson wave’? ‘Hardly ever’, do I hear you say? I’m not saying you should have sex on menses – it’s a personal choice to make under specific circumstance... Read the rest of this post...
